Why choose me for your next Website Design & Development project?

Content and Target Audience-focused Design Methodology

Embracing a content and target audience-focused design methodology, I prioritise meaningful and engaging content when designing a website, ensuring that your website is written and designed in a way that it naturally sells your target audience on your service offering. For many organisations, this means having a clear content hierarchy on your home page that reflects who they are, what they do, their service offering, and building trust through previous work and case studies, so that their customers want to reach out to them.

Quality Brand-focused Designs

A quality cohesive design that reflects your brand is vital in leaving a lasting impression on your audience, putting your brand far ahead of your competitors. The look and feel of a website should reflect your organisation, whether elegant and expensive, or culturally sensitive. The design phase of the process is directly after the content phase, ensuring that your website not only looks good, but delivers an information hierarchy of exactly what your users are looking for.

Experienced Web Designer

With over 15 years of commercial experience as a Brisbane web designer and developer, I am trusted by many notable clients including All 4 Adventure, Culture Kings, Impact Office Supplies, Griffith University, and many more. This has given me the knowledge to create quality solutions for my clients that scale.

Reliable and Dependable

As a web design specialist, I offer specialised and personalised solutions for my clients that agencies cannot. However, it is not just about the technical side - I pride myself on providing clear communication and reliable collaboration.

Continuous Improvement

I have regular strategy meetings with my clients to ensure that I am best supporting the needs of their organisation - whether that be discussing industry trends, or planning the development of new features on the website to support their customers.

Long-term Partnerships

It's important for me to partner with organisations that share the same goals as me. I am interested in creating long-term partnerships with my clients where I can provide them industry-leading services, and support them with their organisation's goals. My commitment to my client's organisation's goals go beyond successful project completion, and the ongoing success of their organisation is vital.

Website Project Process

My website project process includes a comprehensive approach encompassing phases for website discovery, design, development, quality assurance, training, and post-launch review.

“Digital Bird is my first pick for delivering web projects on time, on budget and to the brief — every time. Beyond being a delight to work with, Jonathan Bird is that rare breed of developer who is both masterful on the tools (an absolute Laravel whizz!) while also being adept at engaging the client in UX-thinking, to which he applies expert insights, gained through years of experience, to help further improve the end design for the target user’s experience. This powerful combination of skills means that 4 years on and a variety of projects later (from search directories to corporate website developments), Digital Bird firmly remains my first pick for developer.”
